  • Generation Z's Tweeting Thumbs and Marching Feet
    Generation Z’s Tweeting Thumbs and Marching Feet A study of how the ‘March for Our Lives’ student activists’ discursive solidarity on Twitter strives to achieve gun control by mobilising and politicising American youth Amanda Danielle Flint A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree BA (Hons) Journalism and Media (Ind.) School of Media and Communication, University of Leeds May 2019 Word count: 11,996 Abstract The ‘Never Again’ movement, also known as the ‘March for Our Lives’ (MFOL), is the first notable statement about gun violence made by Americans born after 1999. On February 14th, 2018, a former student murdered 17 people at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School (MSDHS) in Parkland, Florida. After Congress failed to ban assault rifles, survivors vocalised their dissent on Twitter. The students’ activism has disrupted the liberal democratic tradition of rational deliberation in the public sphere by circulating a solidary discourse of anger, empathy, hope, passion and humour. While this research is framed around a particular protest against gun violence, it contributes to academic debates about the public sphere, social media, emotion and young people’s political participation. Content analysis and a Foucauldian multimodal critical discourse analysis (MCDA) examine how a coalition of high school students endeavours to mobilise Generation Z within a digitally-equipped private sphere, subsequently engendering political action in a counter-public sphere resistant to dominant discourses. The activists’ tweets incorporate several performative, linguistic devices to communicate an informal, discursive solidarity. By operating in tandem with Twitter as a conduit of emotion, it disrupts the rational public sphere and advances the political participation needed to sustain a youth-led social movement.

  • Homily – Called to Green Activism
    Called to Green Activism Reverend Cyndi Simpson A Homily Given to the Second Unitarian Church of Omaha, Nebraska, April 22, 2018 Today, considering our monthly theme, we are considering the Earth itself as a STRUCTURE. The largest and most important structure of all. The only shelter and home of every living being of all kinds: plants and animals, including humans. There is no doubt that our planet is in grave danger because many things that humans do. Including increasing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which has led to warming of the entire planet – creating global climate change. Climate change is already having a drastic effect on sea level rise, weather and many natural cycles. Our nonstop pollution of all kinds – waste and toxic substances going into the land, the air and the water. We all need to make big changes in our own lives and collectively, all humans need to make big changes as communities, states and nations. And the huge size of all the changes that need to be made can feel overwhelming. And as individuals, we can feel helpless in the face of that. What can inspire us to Green Activism on behalf of the planet? Right in front of us today, literally this very minute, we have people who have come together to make change in our country and they are making a huge difference – a nationwide difference that I expect will have far- reaching effects. I’m speaking of Cameron Kasky, Jaclyn Corin, David Hogg, Emma Gonzalez and Alex Wind. Former President Barack Obama has just nominated them to be named to the list of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2018.

  • An Analysis of Frames, News Coverage, and the March for Our Lives Movement
    Sojourners 265 Marching for Our Lives, Not Yours: An analysis of frames, news coverage, and the March for Our Lives movement Maren Tergesen University of British Columbia Abstract. This article examines youth activists from the “March for Our Lives” move- ment and how their identities impact their framing of gun violence. Analyzing speeches orated at one of the largest gun violence prevention (GVP) protests ever, this article ex- poses how the positionality and lived experience of white and/or affluent actors influences their framing and results in the exclusion of urban gun violence acted upon Black people and people of colour. This article finds that the MFOL movement reinforces racial hier- archies of worthy victims by describing the ‘characters’ and ‘settings’ of gun violence as those consistent with mass or school shootings. Despite the shortcomings of the MFOL movement, this paper suggests that the current issue attention cycle is conducive to con- versations about the intersections of gun violence with race and that activists of colour are the ones leading these conversations. Introduction On February 14th, 2018, fourteen students and three faculty of Marjory Stoneman Dou- glas (MSD) High School were killed in a school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Within three days of the shooting, a group of survivors formed an organization dubbed “Never Again MSD,” planned a nationwide day of protest called “March for Our Lives” (MFOL) and raised $3.7 million dollars for the cause (Andone 2018). These youth activists were widely applauded for their swift action and “for reminding America that the shooting was not a freak accident or a natural disaster but the result of actual human decisions” (Witt 2018).

  • 1St Place: Grace
    Grace Enz 1st Place – High School Essay Strength in Numbers: Speaking Up to Fight Injustice and Unite Communities Martin Luther King, Jr. was not afraid to speak out against injustice, even when others remained silent. Through his example, we learn how one courageous voice can lead to a movement capable of transforming societies. In his Steeler Lecture, Martin Luther King, Jr. proclaimed, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” If we remain silent in the face of oppression, even when we are not victims ourselves, positive structural change cannot be fulfilled. Like Martin Luther King, Jr. who led the Civil Rights Movement, other influential leaders such as Tarana Burke and Emma González raised their voices to unite communities and spark lasting change through the #MeToo and #NeverAgain movements. The American Civil Rights Movement fought against issues of racial discrimination and segregation throughout the United States, which eventually led to enduring societal change. The most famous leader of the movement was Martin Luther King Jr., an African American minister and activist who brought thousands of people together to peacefully protest during the March on Washington in 1963. He is best known for his “I Have a Dream” speech, during which he stood up for voiceless victims of oppression and expressed the importance of unity in the fight for justice. “We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.” (Martin Luther King, Jr.). Like in the earlier introductory quote, King, Jr.

  • The Political Impact
    Handout 1: The Political Impact Florida, known for its historically soft gun policies, passed a bill March 9 that bans bump stocks, imposes a waiting period, raises the minimum age to buy a weapon and allows cops to take guns from mentally disturbed people. Sixty-seven NRA-endorsed Republicans voted for the bill, and the gun-friendly GOP Governor Scott signed it. (http://time.com/longform/never-again- movement/) Even though the kids are disappointed in the Florida bill (“It’s like they tried to take a big step forward and then tripped,” [MSD student David] Hogg says), it’s still the first significant piece of gun legislation to come out of the Florida legislature in at least 20 years. (http://time.com/longform/never-again-movement/) The omnibus funding bill President Trump signed on Friday [March 23, 2018] includes a clarification stating that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) can conduct research on gun violence — language that Democrats have touted as a win. “This is a huge victory for our country, our communities, and our children, and our efforts to stop gun violence must and will continue,” Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.) said in a statement. (http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/380026-funding-bill-wont-prompt-new-cdc-gun-research- experts-say) On Friday [March 23, 2018], Trump signed a $1.3-trillion spending bill including modest improvements to background checks for gun sales and grants to help schools prevent gun violence.

With more than 400,000 followers in 2020 and more than a million supporters taking part in nationwide school walkouts and protests over the last two years, this social media movement that began with #MarchForOurLives has developed into a rigorous campaign to call on U.S. elected officials to change gun-control and for citizens to get educated and vote. This study looks at how Twitter users engaged with the March for Our Lives movement’s (@AMarch4OurLives) original tweets from February 18, 2018 to December 31, 2019. The impact of this social media movement has resulted in unprecedented U.S. policy changes on gun-reform and an ongoing conversation on gun control policy. A content analysis was conducted (n = 500) to discover what characteristics of the tweets such as topic, tone, hashtags, and year influenced social media engagement in the form of likes, retweets, and replies.
